    Daily cough and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus.

    If its any help, my cat Powder had a cough that developed around 2 years old. It would happen every couple of weeks but started to become more frequent. The vet said he didn't seem to have asthma and recommended we switch to PrettyLitter or something similar. We did and things calmed down. But...

    Cat toys

    Ah good to know re KitNip! That sounds like a service I could get into for certain! I saw those at the pet store the other day and thought about it but wound up getting the boa on a stick instead! Will return tomorrow for the crinkle paper balls. Great idea!

    Cat toys

    Hey all, So Powder is a very playful kitty but we've run into a bit of a problem... it seems he's not interested in ANY of his more interactive toys right now. Feather on a stick, which used to entertain him for hours, is off the table. The cat dancer, another go-to, only holds his interest for...

    Covid-19 and cats

    Thank you. His breathing was fine until two days ago. I’ve read in Associated Press (within the last few weeks) that pets can become infected.

    Covid-19 and cats

    My cat has asthma, which we’ve been treating the last month, slowly tapering off prednisone… I wound up getting covid and quarantined appropriately. But since I’ve recovered, the last two days, I’ve been able to hear his breathing. Called the vet this AM and they haven’t returned my call...

    Bedbug treatment/cat safety

    Hello, I picked upbedbugs while traveling and my apartment was luckily saved (caught the infestation with several nymphs that hatched from luggage) but we had to treat it professionally with Aprehend. they say it was highly effective and pet friendly so long as we stay out of the apartment for...

    Coughing

    I did get a video and played it for her. She wasn’t alarmed. She listened to his heart and lungs and was like “you have a very healthy cat”. Mostly after he eats.

    Coughing

    Hey! My flamepoint is almost 4. He’s ridiculously sweet, energetic, curious and hungry. That being said, every 6 weeks-2 months, he’ll have a coughing episode where he elongates his neck… almost like a hairball. Ive taken him to the vet TWICE for this and she has said he’s perfectly healthy...

    Cat > cohabitation w partner

    Yeah I think we’ve decided we’d live separately before abandoning pets. That’s part of why we wound up together—big animal people. It would just be a lot easier if he didn’t have a zoo!

    Cat > cohabitation w partner

    Yeah—I meant to say he has two cats but they live outside... one of them occasionally will want to come in, but he’s not interactive. And my cat is a very playful cat who loves to run circles around my apartment and occasionally play fetch/tag... and he’s definitely not allowed outside. The...

    Cat > cohabitation w partner

    Hey all, I have a 3 year old flamepoint who is my #1. My partner of 4 years if fully aware of this btw. It’s a different kind of love, very paternal re cat. Anyway, we just got engaged last month. Something I never thought we’do, but feels right. As weve started talking about the BIG TOPICS...

    I actually did set up an air purifier! Powder is my first cat so I just want to be careful!

    Raid Essential Oil... safe for cats?

    Yes! I kept him out and it’s dried. I just didn’t know if the smell would aggravate anything. I’m a bit of a helicopter parent with him :/

    Raid Essential Oil... safe for cats?

    Hello, I have a 2 year-old colorpoint—he’s my baby and just trying to be safe. We live in an older building and have had to do more cooking due to Covid19. Well, cooking brought in a monster roach... my biggest fear. I didn’t spray Raid (the regular kind) but bought a form of Raid made with...
